- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Zest
- 1/2 cup Strawberries, Finely Diced

- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Butter
For the Coating
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Equipment

Instructions
- Drain the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh strainer for 10 minutes. Blend it with the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and lemon zest until thick and smooth, then refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Remove the crusts from the bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin until thin.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling over each slice, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the far edge. Sprinkle with diced strawberries and roll up tightly, placing each roll seam side down.
- Whisk the eggs, milk and cinnamon in a shallow dish. In a separate dish, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Quickly dip each roll in the egg mixture and place it seam side down in the pan. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, turning often, until golden on all sides.
- Roll the warm French toast roll ups in the cinnamon sugar right away. Serve with extra strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
